Copenhagen Travel Guide: How to Feel, Eat and Live the Coolest Capital in Scandinavia
About this audiobook
Copenhagen is the city that reinvented northern Europe. And keeps reinventing it every day.
It is the city that with Noma permanently changed the way the world understands haute cuisine. The city that perfected the art of cycling until making it the model every other city in the world copies. The city that invented hygge and turned it into a life philosophy exported into every language. The city of Tivoli, the world's oldest amusement park where the king goes for dinner with his family. The city of Hans Christian Andersen and Kierkegaard, of fairy tales and existentialism. The city of freshly made wienerbrød and dill herring smørrebrød and craft Mikkeller and new Nordic cuisine with more Michelin stars per square meter than any other city in Europe.
It has Amalienborg Palace with its perfect octagonal square and the noon guard change. It has Christiania, the most fascinating social experiment in European urban history. It has the completely free Nationalmuseet with the Bronze Age Sun Chariot. It has Kødbyen converted from slaughterhouse to gastronomic and nightlife epicenter. It has Scandinavia's most punctual metro and seven hundred kilometers of cycle lanes. And it has a summer light not existing in exactly the same way anywhere else in the world.
In just over an hour you will discover how to get around a completely flat and completely cyclable city, what to see without wasting time, where to eat smørrebrød and wienerbrød and new Danish cuisine the way real Copenhageners eat them, how a night combining hygge and electronic music and craft Mikkeller beer actually works, and how to organize your trip around however many days you have. Complete with itineraries for two, four and six days, advice on the Copenhagen Card, the climate and Danish customs, and the best day trips: Louisiana, Roskilde, Kronborg Castle and Malmö crossing the Øresund Bridge.
Copenhagen is waiting for you. And it is exactly as extraordinary, as well designed and as completely Danish as they say.
